Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000017.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Simplified Acquisition Procedure. The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase 4 EA (actual quantity) and 8 EA (option quantity) of a Hose Assembly for the MH-60T aircraft, with specific part numbers 4730-01-HS1-5715 and alternate AS241D21K0146160.

The procurement is a brand name acquisition from EATON AEROQUIP LLC in Jackson, Michigan, justified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who owns all technical data rights. The rationale emphasizes that these are specialized items designed for the MH-60T helicopter, with unique production techniques and extensive testing. The U.S. Coast Guard has assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 5 and is conducting this as a brand name acquisition directly from the prime contractor, with the contracting officer using multiple methods to determine fair and reasonable pricing, including market research, price comparisons, and current price lists.
